Macaroni is just pasta. You could use any kind of non-string pasta with the recipe S uses. Ziti, bow ties (farfalle), rotini, et cetera would all work.
I would have done S's recipe a little bit differently. I would have made a cheese sauce separately (oil/butter, water, shredded cheeses on a double boiler). Then I would add that sauce with the pasta and put more shredded cheese on top, maybe with bread crumbs and grated parmesan on the very top. Mexican cheeses would have made an interesting mix up for the cheese sauce.
I haven't ventured into any special cooking experiments lately. The last thing I did was a 10 pound vegetable barley lentil soup from scratch. Half of it is waiting in my freezer to be thawed.
Lately, I have considered making some chili. It's getting very cold here now, and that would warm me up very well. I haven't made any since I had to cut out all of that food, so this should be fun. I want to make it very spicy, to warm me up. I'm thinking 6 different kinds of peppers and lots of spices. I'm gonna see about putting some beans in it- probably black beans. I need to figure out the rest of the filler, though. Onions for sure. I've never tried putting rice in it, so that could be good. I'm definitely going to want crackers on the side. Yeah, this should be fun!
